Finite element analysis was used to formulate novel models of both mono and hybrid nanocomposites, and, also to predict their flexural properties. This study also formulated the optimal combination mix ratio of fibres and matrix of the flexural properties for use in different applications. The predicted properties were verified using the experimental method. This study found that the flexural properties of all the composites depicted an increase with fibre additions up to a certain optimum point, beyond which they began to fall gradually with further fibre additions. There was also evidence of transverse matrix fracture in rice husk nanoparticle-reinforced epoxy resin composites' flexural stiffness graphs. Moreover, this study found that the increases in flexural properties of mono composites were about two times lower in magnitude than hybrid composites. With regards to the formulation of optimal combination mix ratio of fibres and matrices for different applications, this study found that the optimal combination mix ratio of fibres to the matrix for applications where all the flexural properties were maximized was 4:1. Moreover, the optimal combination mix ratio of fibres to the matrix for applications where the flexural properties were minimized was 1:2. Furthermore, the optimal combination mix ratio of fibres to the matrix for applications with a target of 10 MPa flexural strength properties and 10 GPa for flexural stiffness properties was 2:3

“…The input parameters considered were all extrusion-injection process parameters. Yusof et al (2016) applied the Taguchi method to find the best fiber-matrix combinations and their weight ratio for optimal tensile strength (Yusof et al, 2016). Some other researchers used different methods for optimizing the natural fiber composites (Al-Shrida et al, 2023;Chaudhuri et al, 2013;Fares et al, 2019;Yaghoobi & Fereidoon, 2019).…”

Natural fiber composites are potential alternatives for synthetic materials due to environmental issues. The overall performance of the fiber composites depends on the reinforcement conditions. Thus, this work aimed to optimize the reinforcement conditions of the natural fiber composites to improve their mechanical performance via applying an integrated scheme of Genetic Algorithm (GA), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and differential evolution (DE) methods considering various reinforcement conditions including fiber length, fiber loading, and treatment time for optimal characteristics of the composite mechanical performance. The B-Spline approximation function was adopted to predict the experimental performance of green composites. The B-Spline approximation function demonstrated incomparable accuracy compared to linear or quadratic regressions. The function is then optimized using an integrated optimization method. Results have demonstrated that optimal reinforcement conditions for the maximized desired mechanical performance of the composite were achieved with high accuracy. The robustness of the proposed approach was approved using various surface plots of the considered input-output parameter relations. Pareto front or the non-dominated solutions of the desired output mechanical properties were also obtained to demonstrate the interaction between the desired properties to facilitate finding the optimal reinforcement conditions of the composite materials.
